View Full Version : Moral/Ethical Question...What Would You Do?...

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first.

Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.

However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.

He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

However, the correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner on the bus stop bench, then drive off with the old friend for a fun night out.:D

Oddly enough, this exact same situation happened to me on the way home from work today.

I told my old friend that I'd pay him back some other time and I also had him to tell the old lady that I'd be sure to send flowers to her grieving family. I then proceeded to take off with the hot babe.

Screw the old lady. If she's gonna die, she's gonna die.

The appropriate answer? A 3-way with the old friend and the hot chick.

Id stop the car, shoot the old bag in the chest, takes longer to die that way, bash my old friends head in with a ball peen hammer, I never liked him anyway, take the hott bitch back to my lair and throw her down in the cellar and torture her for about a year and then let her go so she can write a book about it. Then commit sucide by cop when they come to get me, Ill take as many of them as I can before they get me.



Yes I am feeling particularly nasty today.

Oh, then it must be true ;)


Creeper has a good point....go down fighting.

I say, do a drive-by with an automatic weapon. Have sex with whoever is left, and tell them that you are God and all decisions are final.

Then steal all of their wallets.

Lets see... all alone on a stormy night... stopping at the bus stop where these people are...

Park away unseen. Lurk over to behind the bench without being herd or seen. Take a stun gun and stun them all, thus knocking them out. Place the friend infront of a steemroller and SPLAT him/her into a pancake. Tie up the bitch woman who is suppose to be my "dream partner" (actualy if you use "partner" as in team mate, like Robin and Batman, and not sexualy, Freddy Krueger is my partner. Killing Sprees are always the best with the Nightmare King on your side) and stuff her in the trunk. Take the old woman to the hospital but on the way run over a speed bump that causes her to have a heart attack and die.
